NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon dioxide is converted into sugars in a process called carbon fixation; photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. Carbon fixation is an endothermic redox reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solar energy (sunlight) is the foundation of photosynthesis; it is captured by plants and algae and converted into chemical energy (ATP).

Detailed explanation-4: -The process by which land plants produce their own food using sunlight and carbon dioxide is known as photosynthesis (Figure 1). While carbon dioxide is absorbed by the leaves, the sunlight is captured by a chemical molecule in the plant, called chlorophyll (Chl). All photosynthetic organisms contain Chl.
